I struggle with sensitive skin so decided I wanted to build an app that helps me find out if the product I am using can trigger a flare up. I found glide a month ago and have since been able to make my dream a reality!
The first version is very bare bones, I am hoping to test the concept before investing into more complicated technology (AI/barcode scanning, etc).
Feel free to use the app and share any recommendations.
Also if you have any tips on building user bases that would be much appreciated.

Hey @SeattleOwl
Thank you for creating this inclusive app! Its nice to see such initiatives for an under-represented community like those suffering allergic reactions. It was a pleasure walking though your app. I feel it will also help those people with no allergies to make more consious buying decisions.

What a great example of creating a Glide app to address a personal need. 🙂

Aww thank you Karthikeya\_Jain! It has been a blast building the app and I am excited to continue growing it! Only bummer is I am almost to 500 rows of data now and I am unable to afford the maker plan, I wish there was a way we could just buys rows instead of upgrading to a whole $60 a month plan.

Thanks Andy! It is a great community and I love how everyone helps here. 🙂 I have never coded and it is so cool to be able to build out a functioning app without that knowledge, even my software developer husband is impressed with the final result, and I didn’t need to ask him for help at all!!

> Are you on a Legacy Free plan or a New Free plan? Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the new free plan allows for 25k rows. Your biggest limitation on either the legacy or new free plan is that you are limited to 10 signed in users.
